I am certainly aware of the difficulty of adding requirements, of the challenges of space and schedules, and of the presumed status of fitness activities as a purely private matter. Nevertheless, the value of physical fitness is hardly peripheral to our best understanding of living a meaningful, healthy life. I propose that we find new ways to validate this truth and to include in the educational experience of our students habits of fitness that integrate a sound mind with a sound body. I will appoint a new project team jointly led by the vice president of development and the vice president of student services to explore this issue.
